** BANGLADESH. 15105, Oct 8 at 1257, BB in English detectable but very poor.
15505, Oct 8 at 1359, BB fair with IS; ``time`` signal ends at 1359:40, into
Urdu (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake [non] CNR1 jamming, Oct 8 before 1400:
16920, very poor with flutter at 1355; none in the 17s
15570, very poor at 1355 with het; also probably 15555 ditto
13970, very poor at 1357; none in the 14s
13830, fair at 1357
12980, very good! with flutter at 1358, unlike all the others, whence?
12910, poor-fair with flutter at 1357
12230, very poor with flutter at 1357
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY. 21600, Oct 8 at 1300, here`s something new, never heard before on
frequent 13m scans around this hour: S Asian language talk and songs, fair
peaks but deep fades, stronger than 21610 Spain; 1313 now the music has that
suspicious `Christian` touch, and announces Post Box in Kathmandu; then
mentions shortwave, Nepali, and meterband; 1315 starting another program, (and
another language?), I catch a `` Athmeeya Yatra Radio`` ID, i.e. Gospel for
Asia. Now it`s reaching good level, the SSOB even exceeding 21540 Kuwait.
HFCC has nothing scheduled on 21600 except Riyadh in Arabic at 12-14, and this
is certainly not that, nor has BSKSA ever been active here this season, AFAIK.
Nothing at all on 21600 in Aoki, but searching on GFA, at 1300-1315 we find
Nepali daily on 15350, along with a huge string of other languages via Nauen,
GERMANY, at 1230-1500, and Tuesdays at 1315 into Vadari. EiBi also has GFA on
15350, and only BSKSA on 21600. So I suppose GFA 21600 is ex-15350, as yet
unchecked. However, at 1345 recheck, 21600 is off, which it should not have
been if intentional. GFA has/had another group of languages on 15390 at
1330-1530, but nothing on any higher band, until now. Maybe testing 13m, as
Nepal sunset is circa 1200 now and the high band might hold up that long (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. RF 31 & weaker RF 32 intercity relay, Enid`s only TV station,
KXOK-LD continues to be all SNAFU`d with its two subchannels: Oct 8 at 1413
past 1520 UT, 31-2 M - FOX PSIP, so supposed to be Mundo-Fox, is just color
bars, seven of them top to bottom --- which hardly any TV station broadcasts
intentionally any more, and silent sound. 31-3 is still labeled Azteca but is
black and mute. You never know when one or the other of these will axually
present the programming. Meanwhile main channel 31-1 continues with TV-OK on
RTV network. BTW, the color bars on 31-2 can have aspect ratio changed, while
31-1 and 31-3 are stuck at full-screen only, why? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3905, Oct 8 at 1244, AM carrier here with heavy LSB QRhaM.
Straining, it`s JBM with talk, 1248 a bit of music, more talk, but just too
weak. At least the hams are slightly to the side tho loquacious.
Checking this since Ron Howard reported yesterday that Kavieng had reactivated
unexpectedly, announced as for the "anniversary celebration of NBC New
Ireland", and he too was hearing it again today, better, at 1153-1302. Says
last heard before Oct 7 was July 24, and here`s his audio of Oct 7:
https://app.box.com/s/2gel3t8udgq5k1nq5m68?
Unknown when exactly the anniversary is or how long this return to 3905 will
endure. Note colorful slogan as in WRTH: ``Singaut bilong Drongo`` (BTW, is
there *any* similarity between Old Ireland and New, except perhaps being
green?).
BTW, Ron says 3365 Milne Bay is also back today after several weeks off (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST).
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5085, Oct 8 at 0515, the overnight Brother Scare
service via WTWW-2 is off. Day frequency 9930 is on circa 1300 // but not synch
with 9980 WWCR, what a waste (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 15525, Oct 8 at 1400 silent carrier, then opening V. of Tibet
(via MADAGASCAR) at 1400:03; no CNR1 or any other jamming audible. *1408:03
autojump to 15520, also fair and still no jamming audible on either (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific carrier search Oct 8 at 1231 finds only 774, likely
Japan, and at 1234 UT, 1053 kHz, likely S Korean jammer. (Also still something
on 541 like last evening which I conclude must be of local origin) (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL [and non]. 4873 approx., Oct 9 at 0055, spurblob now is just below R.
Roraima 4875 so we have to tune to the other side of it. Weak, however, unlike
4885 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4885, Oct 9 at 0055, this is the best S American signal on 60m
tonight, presumably R. Clube do Par?, hyper-enthusiasm suitable for a silly
ballgame, interrupted by very brief commercials. Always CODAR QRM. This is also
the only 60m ZY normally heard overnight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL [non]. 6135-, Oct 9 at 0057, only a single station here, the one on
the lo side, no het, so R. Aparecida must be off, leaving R. Santa Cruz,
Bolivia; 6180 RNA, much stronger, is still propagating altho heavily fluttered
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHAD. 6165-, Oct 9 at 0057, RNT fair signal and modulation with hilife
music, before RHC is on. You never know from one night to the next whether
N`Djamena will be 24 hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 4765, Oct 9 at 0113, new R. Progreso SW relay has quickly become just
another nuisance from Castro & Castro. It`s mostly music, but lo-fi, sounds
like ABBA at the moment. Wolfgang B?schel compared it to Rebelde 5025 and RHC
5040 via remote SDR in Miami 48 hours earlier, and concluded that 4765 is only
8-9 kHz wide and with dropouts lasting about 1/10 of a second; 5025 is 18 kHz
wide, much better for music; 5040 is 10-13 kHz wide.
Arnie Coro had asked Rich D`Angelo for an mp3 of 4765 off the air so the CE
could listen to it; also gave details of the system: it`s a 48-year-old
Ukrainian-built Snieg`50, air-cooled 50 kW, plate-modulated ``in pristine
condition``! Antenna a Nadenenko-type broadband dipole with ``very nice
horizontal and nice vertical radiation patterns``. He also suggests it start
earlier at 2300 to include a major newscast.
Terry Krueger in Florida says, ``They should just run this 24/7. Some of the
daytime Progreso is boring (radio novelas) but when in music mode, the network
is mostly very good`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6165, Oct 9 at 0104, RHC English has started, much louder here here
than on undermodulated 6000. Spain should appreciate that for its 5995 CR relay
which now has the ACI from Habana (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [non]. 15190, Oct 8 at 1919, 1926, 1958 and 2119 chex, no
R. Africa audible today; before 1930 there was a JBA carrier, presumably R.
Pilipinas. At 1919, propagation was OK from 15140 Oman, but zero from 15540
Kuwait (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 11985, Oct 9 at 0053, back to abnormal at All India Radio`s Sinhala
service --- Delhi-Khampur has fair strength carrier, but no modulation; very
heavy flutter makes ``modulation`` of its own.
11740, however, via GOA, Oct 9 at 0053 has presumed Sinhala talk, and 0103
music; with equally heavy flutter. WWV reported:
``The estimated planetary K-index at 0000 UTC on 09 October was 5.
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been minor.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level occurred.
Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be moderate.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G2 level are expected.``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6010-, Oct 9 at 0058, discussion in Spanish from station on the lo
side, het on the hi side. Seems about the news rather than religious, so
suspect it`s really Radio Mil, but I can never catch an ID or 4-note jingle
around hourtop to clinch it vs La Voz de tu Conciencia, Colombia. Tonite this
has a little more edge over the het source than usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6950.7, Oct 9 at 0046 music with heavy het from stronger
pirate closer to 6950. John Poet had notified his mailing list at 0018 that The
Crystal Ship was being relayed on 6950. Like 24 hours earlier when it was also
on this off-frequency.
First I made sure the other 6950 station was not local fifth harmonic of 1390
KCRC; this is on 6950.3 or so, and at 0052 IDs as Radio Jamba International,
first by M voice, then W. Still clashing at 0101 and 0118.
During this porch session with DX-398, 0045-0120 Oct 9, I did not hear any
other pirates; too bad the active ones were both in AM and not quite the same
frequency. But there were several SSB Spanish ``pescadores`` around 6920-LSB,
6925, 6960 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA [non]. 9775, Oct 9 at 0045 nothing but a JBA carrier nor
anything plus/minus 5; further chex including 0106 still lack Radio YHWH as
heard 24 hours earlier, and the ACI are greatly attenuated by the CME which hit
at 2015 Oct 8: 9780 VOA Sri Lanka poor with flutter, and 9770 Turkey very poor.
Spaceweather.com reports: ``CME IMPACT, GEOMAGNETIC STORM: An interplanetary
shock wave, possibly the leading edge of a CME, hit Earth's magnetic field on
October 8th at approximately 2015 UT (1:15 pm PDT). The impact has sparked a
minor (G1-class) geomagnetic storm that could intensify in the hours ahead.
High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1210, Oct 9 at 0122 UT C&W music on good signal again, ``Running
Out of Moonlight`` back-announce [not yet!], 0125 KGYN ID. Finally must be back
on day pattern 24h instead of night pattern 24h (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OMAN. 9760, Oct 9 at 0106, RSO with Qur`an, fair with flutter. Exactly 24
hours earlier it was missing, off the air or on wrong frequency (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Oct 9 at 0058, R. Chaski carrier and some modulation; on past
0100 when I heard usual jingle, and with everything else going on, did not get
back here until 0105:10 to find it`s already off, rather than a minute later as
expected, so the timer re-set must have happened today, but not to before 0100.
Tomorrow I should be able to extrapolate the re-start time from the new cutoff
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3370.5-USB, Oct 9 at 0114, MARS ragchew about building a launch pad,
from AFA6JY, net call 6M3; then he calls AFA6JL who sounds like a YL, about the
nice fall weather. Don`t find any info on their locations; we need a
comprehensive MARS callbook (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5110-CUSB, UT Wed Oct 9 at 0107, rock music, 0108 outro as Lou Reed
whose sexual preferences were not going to be discussed on the `Fred Flintstone
Music Show`. I also heard this a month ago on UT Wed Sept 11, so looks like
another regular show missing from the online schedule, like `Marion`s Attic` at
01-02 UT Tuesdays. Another such hole in the sked is UT Friday 01-02; need to
monitor then (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

signal not buzzy today.
EQUAT GUINEA 15190 at 0810 and 0910 UT Oct 9 rather EMPTY CHANNEL.
Two tiny peaks seen under threshold on 15190.0 and odd 15189.912 kHz.
RUSSIA 15195 Exact 1000 Hertz tone signal procedure heard MIDST on
Radio Tatarstan Kazan program at 0800 UT CONTINOUSLY (scheduled
0810-0900 UT), seemingly from Armavir Tbilisskaya Krasnodar site,
which is also in use in coming B-13 winter season on 12095 kHz then.
IRAN 15151.349 IRIB Arabic HQ prayer still ODD at 0825 UT, still VERY ODD
wandering frequency from Zahedan site. \\ 15570.0 Sirjan site.
PAKISTAN 15725 Radio Pakistan in Urdu scheduled 0830-1104 UT noted with
terrible modulation on fundamental, but ALSO TWO accompanied SPURIOUS
outlets, the stronger more broadband on lower 15644.9 to 15646.5, and a
weaker narrow band signal symmetrically on 15804.150 kHz.
S=9+15dB on \\ 17720 kHz.
ISRAEL 15850.006 Israel army station GALEI ZAHAL is back on 19mb, after
absence here in last week. S=8 signal in Europe at 0845 UT Oct 9. Nothing
